The EFL have released a statement updating how they propose to end this seasons League One campaign, however, a decision is still yet to be made.

A draft proposal with two options will need to be considered by all 23 clubs. A formal proposal will follow from the EFL which will then be put to a vote.

According to the statement, playing the remaining games “remains the most appropriate course of action from a sporting integrity perspective.”

However, as we have seen with other leagues, fulfilling all remaining fixtures could face difficulties and a curtailment could be considered.

If the season is cut short, the EFL have lined out the following procedure. Final league standings should be determined on unweighted points per game (PPG) if required. Promotion and relegation would be retained and the playoffs should be played, but with only four teams.

Finding an agreement has been hard to come by, but the EFL need the backing of 12 clubs to continue.
